    A.Punished timely.
    B.Spread widely.
    C.Continued gradually.
    D.Dropped sharply.

    答案:D

    Answer

    解析:
    结合原文第四段中的“Andi pulled out her phone to contact her husband, Jason, but he didn’t respond”可知,此处表达的是转折关系。她掏出手机联系她的丈夫,但是她的丈夫没有接电话,因此respond在这里表示“回复,回应”。故正确答案为D项。

  • 第8题:

    问答题
    What does the word “sprawl” in the first paragraph indicate?

    正确答案: It indicates parts of Orange County extend untidily in different directions.
    解析:
    语义理解题。由题干定位到文章第一段,sprawl一词在该段出现了两次,第一次在“the Los Angeles sprawl”中作动名词,第二次在“sprawling Orange County”中作动词,根据meet一词可知,以上所涉及的两处为两个不同的地区,且是两个区域向外延伸的边缘地带;此外,该段首句还提到,沿着大道,三进三出Cerritos;且sprawl一词原意为“随意地摊开四肢”,由以上几点可以推测出sprawl在此处意为“凌乱地展开”。

    What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
    A

    Chairperson or chair is the neutral term of chairman or chairwoman.

    It is not necessary to replace chairman with chairperson.

    Chairman can express the same meaning as the word chairwoman.

    D

    People are very sensitive to the use of chairman in the past.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推理判断题。根据第二段中的例子“They clearly perceive it as a title which perpetuates traditional ideas about the place of women in society. For this reason they seek to replace it with neutral terms such as ‘ chairperson’ or ‘chair’…”可以推断出为了避免传统的性别偏见,主席可以叫做中性的chairperson或者chair,正确答案为A。

    A

    projections

    B

    revelations

    C

    demonstrations

    D

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    screenings出现在第一段首句。文章开头首先介绍到据历史记载第一部有声电影是1927年的The jazz Singer,但有声电影并非经过数年的silent screenings之后突然出现。可推测silent screenings应该指的是无声电影。screening意为“放映,播放”,而projection也有“放映”的意思,因此答案为A项。

  • 第21题:

    单选题
    The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
    A

    finished

    B

    interested

    C

    cleared

    D

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词义推测题。文章第三段提到“a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed”,由此可知,是这些国家水被污染,因此喝配方奶粉长大的孩子比母乳喂养的孩子在出生后的前六个月更容易夭折。因此选择D选项。finish完成,结束。interest使……感兴趣。clear清除,使干净。意思均不符合。
